Combat turns me off and yeah... I don’t care for Minecraft like game design.

Fair enough. I'd still say you're missing out though. The game has a surprising amount of depth and honestly the trailer really isn't very representative of the actual game. I'd recommend watching someone play some of it on YouTube or something before giving it a hard pass.

 

[Siveon]

There is a Codex thread on it. Some people liked it, some people were meh on it.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I’m assuming there’s extended content in this release. Maybe I’ll try it... not sure I’ll buy it.

Not sure if I mentioned it but After the End: The Harvest deserves a solid look. SNES style graphics but looks nice and has some interesting CRPG elements. Lots of oddball things like free roaming in space, some C&C, planet exploration, etc.. Almost has an Ur-Quan Masters feel to it.

Kenshi.

Ho ho ho! I hadn’t actually heard of this. Looks interesting enough.

Crystal Dragon for Amiga, blobber from '94. I don't think it's very well known, even with the amiga-users. I remember playing it in the mid-late 90s, it was decent, but nothing groundbreaking.

 

[CyberWhale]

Fuck me, the music is top notch.

 

[octavius]

It looks rather dull, and I skipped it myself.

Someone blogged about it.

Sega Genesis - Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun. Look it up, it's really good. And Realmz if it hasn't been mentioned yet.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Ah WOTES; perhaps my favorite Genesis RPG cartridge. Splatterhouse 3 was my favorite cartridge best em up. Dorky Fatal Labyrinth was my only roguelike I had on that system.

Sega Genesis - Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun. Look it up, it's really good.

Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun was the only computer/console RPG based on regular D&D rather than AD&D and also the only computer/console RPG to use D&D's Known World campaign setting, albeit the Hollow World expansion rather than the more usual parts of the setting.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Well, there was also:

Order of the Griffin for Turbo-grafx


Despite what mobygames says it’s D&D rules set up in Karameikos. NOT 1st AD&D Ruleset.

Manual

Both games in 1992 I think but the Genesis WOTES was superior.

 

[tindrli]

Does anyone knows any game similar to Armageddon Epires?

Black Cats Story, it's someone of the funniest games I played, and it's free and made in rpg maker. It has some pretty brutal humor going in it, and just by the drawings you can tell how silly it's gonna be. Just play the first 10 minutes, trust me. It had a kickstarter and it sadly failed, which is a shame because from all the rpg maker games I've seen this one was much better and funnier.

How do you go full screen on v1.03? I’m not seeing anything in the menu.

 

[lightbane]

Alt + F4. Should work for most RPGMaker games.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

That ends the program in this one. Damn.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Aha! F1 comes up with an option screen
Launch full screen
Etc etc.

Odd I didn’t see it in the instructions.

 

[V_K]

I think lightbane just mixed up key combinations. Alt+F4 closes any Win app. What you want for fullscreen is Alt+Enter.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Well, fullscreen is much more enjoyable. At least I made it near the end even if Ruffus wrecked my party. No death cutscene just an error ending. Guess I have to grind and get better gear, more pots, and lvl up pathetic blue fish. Good game. First time I’ve been entertained since Barkley.

Edit—-
Finished it now that I do t have snow to shovel and this head cold has sitting more or less. Strong start and decent ending though I expected some better end sequenceslike the mayor getting a bullet through the brain; I mean BC and YD are psycho brutal.

Never found the hidden owlhoot village the golden Whoot mentioned. Ah well.
